Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary
references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change
the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization.
An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A
magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic
binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without
having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly.
Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by
removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of
planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers,
and BIF timer identifiers.
Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also
be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic
references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty
binaries to the Erlang software.

* josevalim/atu8-chunk/PR-1078/OTP-14178:
Add new AtU8 beam chunk
|
|
The new chunk stores atoms encoded in UTF-8.
beam_lib has also been modified to handle the new
'utf8_atoms' attribute while the 'atoms' attribute
may be a missing chunk from now on.
The binary_to_atom/2 BIF can now encode any utf8
binary with up to 255 characters.
The list_to_atom/1 BIF can now accept codepoints
higher than 255 with up to 255 characters (thanks
to Björn Gustavsson).

This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent
erlang code in erts.
ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header
that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of
each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that
were previously used to point to these locations.
After this change the code should never use BeamInstr *
with offsets to figure out different parts of the
func_info header.
ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a
MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also
in Process->current.
All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr *
to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo
where appropriate.
The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the
ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to
make it work.

The max_heap_size process flag can be used to limit the
growth of a process heap by killing it before it becomes
too large to handle. It is possible to set the maximum
using the `erl +hmax` option, `system_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`,
`spawn_opt(Fun, [{max_heap_size, ...}])` and
`process_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`.
It is possible to configure the behaviour of the process
when the maximum heap size is reached. The process may be
sent an untrappable exit signal with reason kill and/or
send an error_logger message with details on the process
state. A new trace event called gc_max_heap_size is
also triggered for the garbage_collection trace flag
when the heap grows larger than the configured size.
If kill and error_logger are disabled, it is still
possible to see that the maximum has been reached by
doing garbage collection tracing on the process.
The heap size is defined as the sum of the heap memory
that the process is currently using. This includes
all generational heaps, the stack, any messages that
are considered to be part of the heap and any extra
memory the garbage collector may need during collection.
In the current implementation this means that when a process
is set using on_heap message queue data mode, the messages
that are in the internal message queue are counted towards
this value. For off_heap, only matched messages count towards
the size of the heap. For mixed, it depends on race conditions
within the VM whether a message is part of the heap or not.
Below is an example run of the new behaviour:
Eshell V8.0 (abort with ^G)
1> f(P),P = spawn_opt(fun() -> receive ok -> ok end end, [{max_heap_size, 512}]).
<0.60.0>
2> erlang:trace(P, true, [garbage_collection, procs]).
1
3> [P ! lists:duplicate(M,M) || M <- lists:seq(1,15)],ok.
ok

This commit completes the tracing for processes so that
all messages sent by a process (via nifs or otherwise) will
be traced.
The commit also adds tracing of all types of events from ports.
When enabling tracing using erlang:trace, the 'all' flag now also
enables tracing on all ports.
OTP-13496
|

Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions
in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be
very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example).
This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always
being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be
the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that
is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and
TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and
port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API.
This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the
potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed
indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other
trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved
for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive)
the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the
trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so
trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp
out of order.
Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer
module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments.

* sverker/erts/trap_exit-race/OTP-13452:
erts: Fix race for process_flag(trap_exit,true)
|
|
and a concurrent exit signal.
We now actually guarantee that the process will not die
from exit signal *after* the call to process_flag(trap_exit,true)
has returned.
The race is narrow and probably quite hard to observe even if you
manage to provoke it. Has only been confirmed with the help of
return trace and a sleep in send_exit_signal().
Solution:
Seize status lock to prevent send_exit_signal() from reading
an old status (without TRAP_EXIT) and then writing PENDING_EXIT
after TRAP_EXIT has been set by process_flag_2().

- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing
scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _)
and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking
the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation
to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work
(or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the
operation by killing the process.
- erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal
schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take
a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends.
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal)
which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This
since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are
not of interest (hipe loader).
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all
dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since
it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means.
- The three operations:
- changing amount of schedulers online
- blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling
- blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling
can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise
a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other
operations for a very long time.

Just mask away the high bits to get a more tolerant erlang:halt
that behaves the same on 32 and 64 bit architectures.
|
|
This is mostly a pure refactoring.
Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive
integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with
ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT.
Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, )
------- ------------------- -------------------------------------------
exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0
crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0
The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and
ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have
changed).

Now tries to use whole width of signed long (Sint) and this halves amount of
multiplications needed to parse long integers. New code is 2-3 times faster
than the old code for large inputs (tens and hundreds of digits), behavior
should not change for small inputs.

Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the
different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area
is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which
states the threads are in and then from there figuring out
why and where to optimize.
Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is
relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the
states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled
through configure.
I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off
is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent.
If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark,
the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on
somewhere inbetween 5-15%.
